When did your start splitboarding? Do splitboards work? Has splitboarding changed snowboarding for you?
I tried spiltboarding first time little over a year ago. I was amazed how well it worked and how much easier it was to get further faster. Snowshoes have stayed in the closet after that day. And it was great to notice that I can fully trust the board in riding different terrain too. Splitboarding gave me a new perspective to snowboarding that always crawed, ride good terrain without crowds. It also gives me access to mountains that I previously had to use motors to get up. I have never been a big fan of sleds anyway.
